Subtle Invitation

Lyrics

See it's hard to tell somebody  
That you're still somewhat  
Attached to the dream  
Of being in love once again  
When it's clear they've moved on  
  
So I sat down and wrote these few words  
On the off chance you'd hear  
And if you happen to be somewhere listening  
You should know I'm still here  
  
If you really need me  
Baby just reach out and touch me  
You don't ever have to be  
Downhearted again  
If she hurts you or misleads you  
Baby all you ever need to do  
Is call me and let love rush in  
  
What can I say, I had a little extra time  
So I figured I might as well explain  
A couple little things to you  
That you probably never knew  
Like you'll always be an intrinsic part of me  
Even though life goes on  
  
If you really need me  
Baby just reach out and touch me  
You don't ever have to be  
Downhearted again  
If she hurts you or misleads you  
Baby all you ever need to do  
Is call me and let love rush in  
  
And in my love will flow  
Like the waves to the shore  
You can fall into me  
Once again effortlessly  
And I'll comfort you so  
  
Your heart won't hurt anymore  
I'm waiting patiently  
  
If you really need me  
Baby just reach out and touch me  
You don't ever have to be  
Downhearted again  
If she hurts you or misleads you  
Baby all you ever need to do  
(if she hurts you or misleads you) Is call me and let love rush in  
(you can just call me baby)  
If you really need me (if you really need me baby)  
Baby just reach out and touch me(reach reach baby)  
(reach, baby)  
You don't ever have to be  
(don't ever hesitate to call me)  
Downhearted again  
If she hurts you or misleads you(if she hurts you)  
(she's a dam fool)  
Baby all you ever need to do  
Is call me and let love rush in  
(all you gotta do is call me boy, I got you)  
  
If you really need me (yeah:.)  
Baby just reach out and touch me  
(if you're listening to me baby)  
You don't ever have to be (like you used to)  
Downhearted again  
(before I even knew you)  
If she hurts you or misleads you  
(then you know I'm singing to you)  
Baby all you ever need to do  
(so I just wanted you to know)  
Is call me and let love rush in  
(that "anytime you need a friend")  
  
If you really need me (I'm here)  
Baby just reach out and touch me  
(you can still believe  
You don't ever have to be in fairy tales)  
Downhearted again (yours and mine)  
If she hurts you or misleads you  
(so if by chance you take a listen)  
Baby all you ever need to do  
(I'm quite sure you "know is call me and let love rush  
In that this one's for you)  
(cause I'm giving "my all")
